Puritan Wisdom

On I Peter 5:10 --

"It is a good sign in the Minister that he hath a desire his Ministery should prosper; when he is not content to preach onely, but follow it with Prayer. As women having set herbs or sown seeds in a dry ground, following them with watering. For, have a minde they should grow, and as we sow not our seeds in the field, but ask Gods blessing thereon, so much more should we on this precious seed: Thus shall it appear that they trust not in themselves, and that they are desirous that their Preaching should not be in vain."

-- John Rogers, 680.
